The st. Paul Bali Team Has Good
Sized Audience at ITS First Day of
Practice.
Managers Barnes and Thompson, of the
st. Paul base ball team. stood little to
one side of the grand stand in the West st.
Paul grounds and watched the men whom
they are confident will win the North
western pennant as they practiced for an
hour or two yesterday afternoon. The
men appeared on the grounds in their new
uniforms, some of them for the first time,
and a couple of hundred enthusiasts sat in
the grand stand and applauded them as
they made brilliant plays. The grounds
were plowed Saturday and were not in
good condition, though heavy rolling
machine, drawn by six horses. was doing
good work in that direction. On
Tuesday a heavier steam rolling machine
will be put at work, and by the
last of this week the field will be in fine
shape. The uniform consists of dark blue
shirt and breaches, bright red stockings,
white belts and caps, the latter with two
stripes of red around them. On the front
of the shirts are the words st. Paul. in
white letters. The men showed up in good
shape yesterday. Pickett was at first, and

Jack Crooks was going through the motions

others of the team were batting flies and

Barnes. They are in good trim. We shall
probably play game with some picked nine

a PINT OF GOLD.
Wr. Isciin's Challenge to Race the
Titania against the BedOuin.

Tstania Against the BedOuin.
NEW YORK, April 10.-The problem of
how many gold dollars make a pint has
been puzZling good many people ever
since Oliver lseln offered to back his yacht,
the Titania, against the Bedouin for
that amount. A reporter asked
Andrew Mason, superintendent OF the ASSAY
office. for solution of the problem. MI.
Mason figured it as follows: "A cubic inch
of standard gold (solid) is worth $169 2S.
There are IS SOL 200 cubic inches in
pint; therefore. sold pint of gold would be
worth $4. $3.50. But pint of gold dol
lars would not be worth chat much, be-
cause of the spaces between the coins"
Mr.. Sherer, cashier at the sub treasury,
was sought to ascertain the shortage. There
We're less than 5000 gold dollars in

Wall street, however, had been expert

solution. He measured pint of gold
dollars yesterday, and found that 1000 of
the old style made exactly pint, when
shaken down, or 3, 500 of the new style dol
lars, which are thinner, but trife larger
IN circumference. So that if Mr.. Iselin's
challenge is accepted the Titania and the

General William W. Loring, the distin-
guished officer of the Confederate army.
who was buried in st. Augustine last Fri
day. the home of his youth, with high
honors, recalls to memory the days of
young manhood, when he was lawyer.
At the age of 20 Loring was a handsome
young fellow of promised ability and
moved In the best society, and, but owing
to his bashfulness mingled little with the
opposite sex. The year before he enlisted
for the Mexican war he fell in love with
handsome brunette. then a belle of St.
Augustine. The young lady was very
beautiful and much admired. Young Lor-
ing determined to win her for his wife but
days and weeks rolled on, his courage fail
ing every time he was about to make
known his love.
What the heart feels however, the tongue
will speak. and on one Fourth of July even
ing as the couple were strolling on the sea
wall at st. Augustine, young LOring told
the story of his love- He did not receive
any encouragement. Soon afterward a
gentleman friend suggested that they call
on the young lady. He expressed his I'M
Willingness. but finally consented At the
door the young man asked Loring to ring
the bell He hesitated some time. but IL
nally did SO. In the meantime the Young
man had departed. The servant came to
the door and he was asked ill., His face
was scarlet. He did not mention the trick
that had been played upon him, though his
embarrassment excited surprise His visit
was OF short duration. Next day the Joke
was all over town. and Loring never called
on the lady again. Soon after this little
episode the lady's engagement to another
gentleman was made public. The lady is
now resident of Palatka, and still shows
traces OF the remarkable beauty of her
youth. She was Gen. Loring's first lady

Dear Bob: You oughter be out here. [
amt seen nothin' but fur sense got here,
and don't care if l don't get back to town
for year. The other day me and a Teller
named Ike an Cal and Sim went down to
the creek that amt very far from my
uncle's an saw a duck that would dive
every time we made motion like we was
goin' to throw at it. Part of us got on one
side of the creek an part on the other. and
we throwed at the old duck till he
tlewed away, an you bet you, if he
had stayed there we would er got
him putty soon. While we was wal
lerin' under tree big boy with freckles
all over his face came along with gun an
stopped. He looked at us a while and
asked if | could outlook Sim. Me ana
Sim didn't say nothin' and after while
the big Teller said that the one that out
boxed might shoot his gun. an the fust
thing | knOwed we wuS at it wus'n dogs
tightin'. Pm little bigger'n SIM, but
femme tell you, Sims tough. | didn't kere
nothin' erbout shootin' the old gun. nohow.
The next day we killed cat. 1t whipped
two dogs. but er old dog named Major
grabbed him an finished him. We petted
old Major up an then tied a tin bucket to
his tail an had some fun. You
ought to been with us the next
day. While we was down by the
branch we saw great big old snake go
under er rock We poked under tile rock
with er big pole. and the old snake stuck
out his head an. sir. about that time 'ker
bip' old Ike took him on the head, but he
would't come out. After while we saw his
old tail workin' at the edge Of the rock an
Sim grabbed him an tlirowed him away
out yonder, an we killed him an hung I'D
on a limb to make it rain. The dogs run a
rabbit in boiler tree yesterday, an we tried
to twist him out, but couldn't. Cal said he
could get him out, an he got some bark an
leaves an built fire in the hOller.
an said he was going to smoke him out
After awhile here he came 'bip' right down
in the fire, an Cal nailed him. The dogs
howled an crowded round, but we drove
'em back an wouldn't let 'em get hold of
the rabbit. but dog named King slipped
up an grabbed the rabbit an killed him.
Then we took dog named Ring an tied
Gals hat to his tail an had some fun. You
ought to see him run. The other dogs
caught him an wallered him in the sand
Gals hat was tore all to pieces, an I'll bet
his nanny whipped him. This mornin'

An Ancient Roman Face.

Speaking of coins recalls an incident in
the life of J. NJ. Stone, the Boston artist.
He received an order once from a college
for a medal to he made with the face of a
certain ancient Roman on it. Now. this
Roman had left no trace of his Likeness;
no coins or medallions or shields had been
discovered bearing his physiognomy. The
college people told Mr.. Stone about the
character of the ancient, and left him to
use his imagination for the likeness He
did not relish the task al all If he could
have had no more than the Zip of the
mans nose or chin 10 suggest the features
he would have felt better At last. in de-
spair he bethought himself of a cook in a
friends family. This worthy lady was
famed among those who had seen her as
the furthest removal from physical beauty
that the century had produced One of
her features WAS a pronounced Roman
nose. Nr. stone began to paint that nose,
hut he finished by transferring the cook :

that the college has treasured among its
classical archives the likeness of Il modern
female cook doing duty as representa-
